Having babies

[fixedgeargirl]

how will we be able to get out an ride when burdened with micro humans, :

If you're already considering a child a burden, you're not in a good place to be a parent. When you can get excited about the challenge of incorporating a new life into your own and finding creative ways to share your passion with your pride and joy, you're ready.

c) How on earth willl I cope with the jealousy of being the one who's left behind holding the baby

Be an adult, suck it up. It's good practice for teaching your kids the tough lessons of handling disappointment. I missed a marvelous season of mtb'ing my son's first summer. You know what, it was only one summer of the many that have made up my life. It sucked hearing my friends' stories of glorious rides. In the six years since, I've returned to participating in those stories. One season is really a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.

Geez, I don't want kids (like, ever) and I don't even have the apparent distain that you seem to have for them! I agree with the other poster's that it seems you are not ready.

Maybe start with a dog & see how you can handle that first?
